I am curious if this is true of AT&T's VOIP too.

The copper wires aren't all that secure either. It just takes more effort because you generally have to physically access the copper but hackers were hacking phone lines long ago. There's a reason companies and government agencies invest in phones that encrypt voice communications: because unencrypted communications are DANGEROUS.

Any coincidence, that this company Sipera, also makes equipment to secure VoIP communications? At least that explains their motivation for digging this up.

Uh Oh, how about Viatalk, are they, and their LinkSys VOIP adapters as vulnerable?
